Here we go!! 20 Random facts about me!
- I am a “To-do” Listmaker, but not so much a “To-do” List follower! I am good at making a list in the morning, and as the day goes on, I find new things to do, that wasn’t necessarily on that list. So, as I do something, I add it to my list and then cross it off! By the end of the day, I normally have had a somewhat productive day, but not always finishing the things that were originally on my list! Hey, least I’m being productive for some things, right?
- I’m an only child.
- I have lived in Canada my whole life. British Columbia, Ontario , Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and PEI. My favorite spot I have lived so far is West 4th Ave, Vancouver BC. 3 blocks from the water and a super trendy part of town, back in the early 90’s anyways!!
- I have a 5 lb Yorkie dog named Bean. I hate to admit but I am kind of turning into a crazy dog mom. Bean has been to Doggy Daycare and he will quite often get new sweaters or jackets when I am out shopping. And yes I get mommy anxiety when dropping him off at daycare.

5. I have been married once and divorced once.
6. I’m super duper emotional and I cry very easy over everything.
7. I own a Harley Davidson but I don’t have a bike license yet.
8. If you were to define me I think you could say I’m an empath. I pick up on people’s emotions quite intensely. I am often found listening to people’s trouble’s as it is said I am easy to talk to.
9. I love running, and have done quite a few 1/2 marathons, 5 and 10km runs!
10. I served for 16 years with the Royal Canadian Air Force as a supply technician. My postings included, Trenton, Ontario; Greenwood, Nova Scotia, and Shearwater Nova Scotia.
11. I absolutely love Pepsi but I’m trying to cut down so I’ve switched to a carbonated water called Bubly and I absolutely love it too. But sometimes nothing beats a good cold can of Pepsi.
12. I love Ellen, and try to watch her show everyday. I will quite often be in tears, either from laughing or crying or both! I love how she gives to people and recognizes everyday people ! It would be a dream come true to get to her show!
13. I love to travel and I absolutely love being in western Canada. Alberta and British Columbia are my two favorite provinces. Although I do need to get some more visiting into Newfoundland, and also to Saskatchewan to visit dear friends.have been to the following places in my lifetime London England as well as Blackpool and Manchester England when I was about 12 . I still remember the amusement park in Blackpool like it was yesterday. I have been to Dubai and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates. I have been to Orlando Florida, Anaheim and Carlsbad California. I have taken a repositioning cruise with Princess Cruise Lines from Vancouver to San Francisco California, then traveled by Greyhound
bus from San Francisco to North Dakota. I remember a group of ‘deadheads’ that I had met on that trip. I had no idea what a deadhead was until they explain that they were huge followers of The Grateful Dead. They were awesome and I was able to introduce them to the amazing music from the Canadian band The Tragically Hip. They had never heard them but absolutely fell in
love with the music. I have spent time on Vancouver Island I absolutely love Tofino, it’s a beautiful Island. I’ve been to Vancouver British Columbia, Calgary for the Calgary Stampede and many many years ago. I strongly encourage you to take in the Stampede if you ever find yourself in Calgary at the right time! I spent many years in Winnipeg, Manitoba (my hometown) and as well in Headingley Manitoba just outside of Winnipeg. Headingley is home to Nick’s Inn, home of one of the best ever Burgers! I spent one week visiting Newfoundland Canada but definitely need to get back.
14. I work best under pressure, and often leave things to the last minute!
15. I get scared to death when I have to talk in a crowd. I’m really stepping out of my comfort zone with the slog and with the videos I’ve been doing but I think it’s for the best. It makes me uncomfortable but it also forces me to keep going and to look at what I really want from life.
16. I am engaged. He totally shocked me on Christmas Eve 2018. I had no idea that he was going to propose anytime soon. I was quite stumped that he managed to pull off the surprise because I tend to be super nosey!! LOL, It couldn’t have happened any better. It was a beautiful night and we were looking at Christmas lights in North Rustico PEI. He faked a sore chest then got down on one knee and now I have a beautiful ring on my finger and my best friend to spend the rest of my life with.
17. I own a bright orange hippie bus named Delilah.1974 VW Campmobile. I must point out as well, my two girls state they despise the bus. My son, on the other hand, has made it very clear that it is to go to him as soon as I tire of it. It’s fun owning her. When I’m out and about I’ll often find a note on the windshield from somebody asked me if I’m interested in selling or telling me it’s a really cool bus. She’s a great conversation starter. Owning her has also allowed me to meet quite a few other VW owners which is really kind of cool.
18.I’m petrified of snakes and bats. When I first started dating my fiance, he had one bedroom in his house and the door was always kept closed. It wasn’t until about three weeks after I had been going to his house that he revealed to me that behind that door was a great big huge massive white California King Snake, named Aerosmith. He assured me that it couldn’t get out and I managed to survive.
19.I help facilitate a peer support program for veterans on Prince Edward Island called Brave & Broken
20. The final random point I will share is, this whole blogging and social media and basically putting my story out there is scaring me to pieces. Even though it is scaring me to pieces, I really feel it is helping me to heal and helping me to look inside of myself to really sort out everything that has been jumbled in my head over the last forty some years.
Until next time my friends, be kind to yourself and look out for others! xo
